IDLI POWDER / IDLI MIALAGAI POWDER / IDLI PODI

Hi Everyone,

Even after getting my own laptop and broadband connection Iam not able to do blogging regularly:((.Now my kid started going to school so now double and double tension .Tomorrow is Ashley’s birthday so Iam totally busy with birthday preparations, though the party is going to be very simple the preparations are heavy for me . Husband is busy with his office so he refused to help me on this, he dropped the entire preparations on my head. So I dropped the idea of making anything for birthday and ordered everything from outside. I will share the birthday details tomorrow.

So coming back to recipe, Idli podi / Idli milagai podi is an important procession in my house. Without idlipodi I don't know how I will manage , It comes to handy and helps me in many times especially busy mornings and lazy night dinners.

I wont buy idli podi from stores as they are very grainy and too much chilli (also colour powder) so we will make it in home with healthy ingredients . There are many versions in making idli podi and you can either increase the ingredients or even decrease them according to availability of ingredients. Idli podi and coconut oil are the best combinations that goes great with idli and Dosa.

This is the standard recipe which my mum following it for years and till date my mum only makes idli powder for me. During shifting mum and dad came here to help me so she made idlipowder for me here itself. Then why to miss the chance I clicked the photos and noted the recipe too,
